I honestly don’t get the whole excitement about “on Mastodon, admins can read your DMs” or “DMs on Mastodon are totally different from Twitter”.

They’re not. Did people honestly think that their Twitter DMs were “private” in any meaningful sense?

@slothrop There are efforts being made to provide end-to-end encryption here, so hopefully we'll be in a better position than Twitter soon.

Until then, people can connect on third party platforms for messaging.

Still better than "the entire Twitter mod team can read your DMs".
